Lisa Kudrow & Michel Stern

Known for her role as Phoebe Buffay in the iconic sitcom Friends, Lisa Kudrow has been a beloved icon to millions. Like her character who found love on-screen, she eventually found true love through the French businessman Michel Stern. She met him, who is an advertising executive with investments in the field, while in Paris during the ’80s. Despite developing a crush, Kudrow did not made her feelings known yet, as Stern was dating her roommate at the time.

Six years after crossing paths, Kudrow and Stern met again, and this time, they started dating. In May 1995, the two tied the knot, shortly after the first season of Friends was wrapped up. Three years later, they welcomed their only child, a son named Julian. Interestingly, Kudrow’s pregnancy at the time was worked into her Friends character during its fourth season. Today, the two have manage to remain quite resilient even though they have diverging careers.
